The UN has said it has no information on whether the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distributions in the territory have actually taken place.

The newly formed US-backed foundation released images of aid distribution from its hubs in the Strip on Tuesday.

But Unrwa spokesperson Juliette Touma told reporters that UN agencies do not “have any information” about aid deliveries by the GHF into Gaza.

“We know what’s needed, we know what’s missing, and we are very, very far from that daily target,” Touma said.

“The needs are 500-600 trucks at a minimum that should go into Gaza, loaded with supplies. Not only food but also medicine, medical supplies, vaccines for children, fuel, water and other basics for people’s survival.”

A spokesperson of the UN humanitarian office dismissed the GHF’s activities as a “distraction”.

“What is actually needed is a reopening of all the crossings into Gaza, a secure environment within Gaza, and faster facilitation of missions and final approvals of all the emergency supplies that we have just outside the border and needs to get in,” OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said.
